PTH. I thought That Michel C Auger was a sovereignist in a past life? Is he really federalist now? Hard to tell by his articles (which, I guess, is a quality for a political commentator). Same for Vastel, who called himself separatist recently, and who I thought was always a federalist. Both have interesting viewpoints of that Liberal race anyway.

Rather than spending billions of dollars on cleaning up the mess we are going to invest billions of dollars in China's industries . . . and have a worse mess! But we'll feel good because we are doing something, no? Sheep People want easy solutions. Politicians are in the business of supplying easy solutions. IF the carbon threat is real (and I say IF), there are REAL solutions to it. However, they are not easy and they wont be popular. Politicians are not in the game to be unpopular or to rile the electorate. This is why I am afraid of people like Dion. They will wear the environmental cape like some saviour crusader and in the end, they will provide expensive and worthless solutions. Whether the carbon threat is real or not, we are destroying our environment and need to take action. Unfortunately, the sheep look to the government for advise/direction; the government says tell us what you think you want and we'll introduce legislation so we can look like we're doing something so we can get re-elected. Better solution: we look at our lifestyles and make changes. Will we? Not unless it costs us. Am I still in line as Vice-Regal Second-in-Command Holy Potentate? Power has a certain . . . allure . . . in a humble way, of course

Here is what the second one is...... evfinder.com/evt.htmThe technology freak in me just can't let something that goes an equivilant of 400 mpg go to waste. P.S. If you see something coming down the road that looks like a bear on a little scooter, move over, it's me.
